The state Manipur always has been styled as a kingdom without much of remnants of palaces, rich monuments and temples. Historical temples and monuments are very few. The earliest temple which is believed to be of the 15th/16th century AD is the Vishnu temple at Bishnupur now called as Bishenpur. Non availability of monuments prior to it is perhaps due to the fact that as the art of making bricks was unknown in Manipur at that time , constructions were made of wood and other perishable materials which are easily weathered when exposed to tropical and sub tropical climate . Anyway the stupa type of roof of the Vishnu Temple, the hut type temple of Krishna and other monuments at Imphal indicate the influence of both Buddhist and Vaishnavite Hindu architecture. to know more :)
